Ok, I did what FI2ick said and that seemed to work although I have no idea why.

Shockwave, I'm running current drivers for my Ethernet card.

Its working now but I'm wondering if its going to pop up the next time I reboot.

So far so good gang. I appreciate the quick insightful responses last night.

I'll let you know if I have any other problems.

I have an Audigy sound card and XP enables the firewire port on the back of it as as a network adapter. I simply disabled as it seems you also have done.

Hmmmm...thats interesting. I was trying to figure out what piece of hardware XP was thinking was Firewire. I didn't suspect the soundcard. Wouldn't an updated Audigy driver force XP to treat it as the correct hardware instead of defaulting to a 1394 net adapter?

Actually, that's one of the uses Creative hypes on the audigy cards. You can use the firewire port to direct connect to another audigy for a simple lan session. This is prob. why it gets treated as a network adaptor. Once it's been disabled in device mgr, it will not un-disable itself. You should have no further problems with it, but at least you know where to look if you do!
